The (preliminary) speaker program is now available. If you would like to come, please register (required!) – information is provided.
Please also note that travel awards for graduate students to attend are available. Please apply, or please make sure any suitable candidates are aware of the opportunity (especially members of any under-represented groups).
Our Chicago meeting in September will not take place 26-28 September, as initially announced, but instead 27-29 September 2013. The program will be available shortly on this website.
The call for contributed papers and abstracts of proposals has now been closed. We hope to notify all authors whether their submissions have been accepted by mid-July. For future reference, the CFP will remain visible as a separate page for a while.

The investigation of quantum gravity has been central to theoretical physics for at least two decades, but philosophy has only engaged with this field in very a fragmentary way. The purpose of this meeting is bring together people with research agendas in quantum gravity, to present their work and develop some common understanding of philosophical topics, questions, approaches, and solutions. Because the field is very new, many of those involved are near or recent PhDs – along with established scholars, they are encouraged to attend, to share their work or learn.
